During a car collision, the knee, thighbone, and hip can sustain a force no greater than 4000 N. Forces that exceed this amount

could cause dislocations or fractures. Assume that in a collision a knee stops when it hits the car's dashboard. Also assume that the mass of the body parts stopped by the knee is about 20% of the total body mass. The person with a mass of 65 kg is initially traveling at 18 m/s (40 mi/h).

Answer:

a) t = 0.0585 s  

b) s = 0.5265 m

Explanation:

Given:

- maximum possible force F = 4000 N

- mass of person = 65 kg

- mass of knees and other m = 0.2*65 = 13 kg

- initial velocity u = 18 m/s

- Final velocity v = 0

Find:

a) Minimum stopping time

b) Minimum stopping distance.

Solution:

Minimum stopping time can be evaluated by Newton's second law of motion. Where change in momentum per unit time is Average force experienced by the body:

                                   F = m*(v - u) / dt

                                   dt = 13*(0 - (-18)) / 4000

Hence ,                       dt = 0.0585                

       

Minimum stopping distance can be evaluated by using equation of motions and required deceleration is as follows:

                                  a = - 4000  / 13

                                  a = -307.692 m/s^2

And,

                                 s = (v^2 - u^2) / 2*a

                                 s = (0 - 18^2) / 2*(-307.692)

                                s = 0.5265 m  

Answer: The minimum stopping time and distance are t = 0.0585 s and s = 0.5265 m, respectively.

Which three quantities can be used to calculate acceleration?
PtichkaEL [24]
D is the correct answer, assuming that this is the special case of classical kinematics at constant acceleration. You can use the equation V = Vo + at, where Vo is the initial velocity, V is the final velocity, and t is the time elapsed. In D, all three of these values are given, so you simply solve for a, the acceleration.
A and C are clearly incorrect, as mass and force (in terms of projectile motion) have no effect on an object's motion. B is incorrect because it is not useful to know the position or distance traveled, unless it will help you find displacement. Even then, you would not have enough information to use a kinematics equation to find a.

Which three terms are needed to describe the energy a BASE jumper has as she falls toward the ground?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Potential energy

Kinetic energy

Gravitational energy.

Explanation:

The potential energy is the stored energy, it is the energy and object posses at rest. When the base jumper is still at rest i.e without motion, she has potential energy.

Gravitational energy this refer to the potential energy an object or body with mass posses in relation to another object due to gravity.

This is seen when the base number is still at rest and the force of gravity on the Earth acting on her.

Kinetic energy is the energy posses by an object or body in motion.

As the base jumper falls to the ground, she posses kinetic energy which is the energy in motion.

A mixture of gas expands from 0.03m³ to 0.06m³ at constant pressure of 1MPa &amp; absorbs energy of 84 J. Calculate the change i
leonid [27]

Answer:54 kj

Explanation:P1 = P2 = 1000 kPa

1Q2 = 84 kJ

1W2 = P1 (V2 – V1)

= 1000 (0.06 – 0.03) = 30 kJ

1Q2 = 1W2 + 1U2

U2 – U1= 1Q2 – 1W2 = 84 – 30 = 54 kJ
